Getting a Good Night’s Sleep: an Ultimate Guide for Everyone

Our sleeping patterns naturally change as we get older, so it’s not unusual to have trouble sleeping. This means that many of us can struggle to get to sleep or stay asleep, leaving us tired and grumpy the following day.

Chronic sleep problems should not be regarded as either an inevitable, or a normal part of the ageing process.

Experts agree that practising good ‘sleep hygiene’ can make an important contribution to getting a good night’s sleep. This is just another way of saying that you need to get into good habits:

Go to bed and get up at the same time every day

Avoid lying in

Establish a bedtime routine – relax by reading a book or having a bath
